ALL BLACK
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007What’s with the color black? Black is a perfectly nice color for clothes, but not when people go all gaga over it.
Not
too long ago, Cebu was black crazy. Perhaps taking a cue from the black
NBA outfits (you have to admit, the black Chicago Bulls uniform was way
cooler than the red), everyone was wearing black. Black was everywhere!
On the street, in the classrooms. Black was, understandably, the
dominant color at the party scene.
Well, Cebuanos managed to carry it too far.
After one night of hard gaming 
in
the video arcade at the mall with my daughter. We looked around the
corner to where the party places were to find a FLOOD of…. BLACK! It
seemed like hell had taken over! From the perfectly delicious
mini-dresses to the pretenders who just slipped on black t-shirts over
their jeans (thus ensuring Cebuano’s reputation for under dressing for
a party), not a single soul seemed brave enough to wear another color.
Seeing
a party hardy friend, I couldn’t resist saying, and within earshot of
at least a half-dozen similarly coiffed party goers, "Gee, everyone’s
in black. WHO DIED?"
I’d like to believe that’s when Cebuanos started re-introducing other colors into their night life.
